This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The DEK 265 is a screen printer platform for SMT assembly. The DEK 265 uses Windows NT operating system and a Cognex 8100 vision system for alignment. The DEK 265 can achieve alignment accuracy of ±12.5 μm and cycle time of 12.5 seconds.[1]
What it is
How it works
The DEK 265 aligns the stencil to the board with a fully automatic vision system. The machine uses fiducials, synthetic fiducial libraries, or unique pattern recognition to locate the board image and establish registration before printing.[2][4]
The DEK 265 prints with programmable motion and programmable print pressure. The machine supports multiple print modes, including paste, flood, and adhesive modes, and the stencil separates from the board in a controlled motion after deposition.[2][4]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe DEK 265 operates on bare boards or pallets before component placement. The printed deposits form the attachment sites that follow through assembly and thermal processing.
Applications
The DEK 265 supports inspection, networked data transfer, temperature and humidity sensing, and paste-dispense options. The machine is therefore suited to electronics assembly environments that want print control and process monitoring around stencil printing.[2][4]

Frequently asked questions
What screen-frame size does the DEK 265 use?
The DEK 265 uses a standard screen frame with external dimensions of 736 by 736 by 38 or 40 millimetres and internal dimensions of 660 by 660 millimetres.[2][4]
What board sizes does the DEK 265 handle?
The DEK 265 handles boards from 40 by 50 millimetres up to 510 by 508 millimetres in the Horizon 03i specification, and up to 508 by 508 millimetres with an optional heavier-board configuration in the Horizon 02i specification.[2][4]
What registration methods does the DEK 265 use?
The DEK 265 uses a fully automatic vision system with synthetic fiducial libraries or unique pattern recognition. The machine also supports auto lighting adjustment and auto fiducial search.[2][4]
Does the DEK 265 include inspection functions?
The Horizon 02i specification includes full inspection functionality for blockage, smear, paste present, alignment, bridging, and pseudo-volume calculation. The Horizon 03i specification includes full inspection capability for screen and board, including basic paste-on-pad and stencil-aperture blockage detection.[2][4]
What operating system and operator interface are specified for the DEK 265?
The Horizon 03i specification states a colour TFT display, keyboard, trackball, and Windows XP. The Horizon 02i specification states a colour TFT display with keyboard and trackball, Windows XP, and the DEK Instinctiv interface.[2][4]
